Master System wanted to make certain that none of those it created could change themselves back. It wanted permanency and it designed it into the system. " "I was-am-a genetic experiment " China explained. "My father worked to create me. My extreme beauty-I am not saying that to be egotistical-and my very high intelligence were part of it. I was part of a larger project to breed a race of superior intellects intellects that might do more than simply cheat on the system. I was but stage one however; that race was to be bred and it was my purpose to be one of those who would bear the next generation that might be t! he rebels. It was to escape this life as a breeding factory that I fled. I saw my father as unfeeling as even evil and I ran into the hands of Clayben who was far more unfeeling and evil than my father ever dreamed of being. Melchior was Clayben's playpen possibly the only place in the known universe where such vast knowledge and power could be wielded without restraint by human beings. He examined me discovered my background and decided my father was correct. " "But you escaped from him as well " Chow Dai noted. "Not soon enough. They analyzed what my father's geneticists and biochemists had done and made improvements on it in computer models but as you know such modifications would not be inheritable if induced unlike my father's more direct approach with laboratory eggs and sperm. They were also aware of all that I had accomplished in escaping my father Center and even Earth. They wanted my mind and my body-in that at least their ideas were better than my father's-but th! ey wanted me secure particularly if I was to work with their best computers and data bases. Melchior was originally established as a research station by Master System to create the Martians. It has a small but very workable transmitter. They use it for many experiments. Captain Koll's tail is a good example. " "I'm more familiar with it than you know dearie " Koll said enigmatically. "At any rate they modified me. All of me. Incorporated their genetic changes to be inheritable building on my father's work. Star Eagle can tell you the rest. " "They wanted to make certain she couldn't pull a fast one on them " the pilot told them. 'That was how they hit on the blindness. She is not merely blind-she. dawdaw65658567e45ahhwe44885
